Where would my case be heard?

Pennsylvania hosts B. Braun's Allentown EtO facility (16+ lawsuits, confidential settlement, defense verdict) and Cosmed's Erie facility (Trump-exempted from 2024 NESHAP). Pennsylvania's recognition of medical monitoring claims is a key advantage for exposed residents.
